† 2024 WAC tournament winner |
The 2023–24 Utah Tech Trailblazers women's basketball team represented Utah Tech University during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Trailblazers, who were led by eighth-year head coach JD Gustin, played their home games at Burns Arena in St. George, Utah as members of the Western Athletic Conference.
This season marked Utah Tech's final year of a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I. As a result, the Trailblazers were not eligible to play in the NCAA tournament, but were eligible to play in the WAC tournament.
Previous season
The Trailblazers finished the 2022–23 season 19–12, 10–8 in WAC play to finish in a tie for fifth place.[1] They defeated Utah Valley in the first round of the WAC tournament,[2] before falling to California Baptist in the quarterfinals.[3]
